Moses and Will try to pull him back, but ultimately fail.

* [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards]]: Inverted - The Iron Erens deal more damage than the crystal erens. The crystal erens still have their use though; especially since if you give them an item that regenerates lost TP (or cuts TP usage down) they'll be able to cast ''all day''.
